Mobile Studio Architects creates giant flip-books in the forest London-based Mobile Studio Architects has collaborated with students at a US summer camp to create a series of oversized flip-books that depict fictional forest tales. Titled Universal Play Machine, the project utilises the traditional flip-book animation technique but on a much larger scale. Mobile Studio Architects worked with Beam Camp in the forests of New Hampshire to realise the project. "Essentially an oversized flip-book, the system scales up the split-flap display technology first used in airports and train-stations across the world," said Mobile Studio Architects. Hidden away in the forests of the camp, the machines encourage the students to explore the surrounding wilderness while also acting as creative stimuli. The pages of the books are protected within rectangular metal frames and are fitted on rotating mechanisms powered by handles on the side. The devices were constructed through a collaboration between Mobile Studio Architects, craftspeople and all 89 campers.
